Quality Collaborations

Cardiovascular

The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Cardiovascular Consortium, or BMC2, is a prospective, multicenter, collaborative effort to assess and improve quality of care and outcomes for patients with coronary disease, with a focus on the following three areas:

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention – commonly known as angioplasty.

Vascular Surgery – patients with peripheral vascular disease who are undergoing open abdominal aneurysm repair, endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair and open bypass procedures of upper and lower extremities. The project also collects data on carotid artery stenting and carotid endarterectomy.
